As a result of the hike of MCLR, existing borrowers of the bank will pay higher EMIs on outstanding loan amounts on Baroda Home Loan & Baroda Home Improvement Loan, Baroda Home Loan Advantage, Baroda CRE Home Loan, Baroda CRE Home Loan (Advantage), Baroda Top Up Loan, Baroda Mortgage Loan, Baroda Traders Gold Card Scheme, Baroda Ashray (Reverse Mortgage Loan), Baroda Education Loan, Baroda Auto Loan, Baroda Skill Loan Scheme, Baroda Advance Against Securities, Baroda Personal Loan, Baroda Loan To Pensioners and all other retail loans that are based on Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR). As a result of the RBI’s decision to raise the repo rate by 50 basis points to 4.90 per cent from 4.40 per cent at the MPC meeting on June 8th, all leading banks have already begun raising interest rates on loan and deposit products, and borrowers of BoB will pay higher EMIs on retail loan products if they have taken any. Banks typically link MCLR-based housing loans to one-year MCLR rates, and if your home loan is linked to Bank of Baroda’s MCLR, the bank will raise interest rates on the reset clause or date specified on the loan agreement.
